It’s very important to a young man when his father, whom he admires, takes him aside so that they can chat, just the two of them. When my dad did this with me, he would talk with me as an equal, though I knew he was so much smarter and stronger than I. It made me feel important to him to be treated with this respect. I loved these talks. Through them I knew that my father loved me and considered me valuable to him and to the world.

I have another Father…
